7 Claims. (01. 281-15 This invention relates in g'enerat to abookconstruction and i's particularly concerned with: the arrangement of theleaves and themannei which the leaves are secured inthe took.

:a It is an object of the present invention to rovide in a bookconstruction a novel arrangement of leaves whereby certain of the leavesof the book are supported by other leaves of the book and may readily'be removed from the book I out interfering with the securement of theother leaves in the book.

For purposes of illustration, myintefition which may under theexigencies of the circum= stances existing have been organized toprovide the community with a place for deposits.

. It is therefore a further object of the present invention to providean instrument in the nature of a combined bank deposit book andinsurance policy, which guarantees the depositors account, thisi-risurance'policy' being contained facsimile on leaves which areremovably secured to the other leaves of the book and may be removedwhen the bank book is turned in due tethe failure of the bank or someother exigency' which might arise.

The invention also contemplates a removable leaf carried by one of theleaves of t book "which contains a waiver of claim against the bank bythe depositor. This waiver ofclainr is likewise detachable from thebatik book leaves;

and may be left attached or may be detached depending upon whether ornot the depositor de- "sires to Waive his claim.

Other and further important objects of this inventiomwill appearfrom thedisclosures in the specification and accompanying drawing.

This invention (in a preferred form) is illustrated on the drawing andhereinafter more fully described.

On the drawing: I

Figure 1 is a plan view of a book embodying the principles of thisinvention, the book being open to disclose the leaves containing thefacsimile' otthe i nsurancepolicy for guaranteeing theaccount;

Figure 2 i's'a similar View showing the book partially open to disclosethe manner inv the leaf containing the: waiver form is secured: tar oneof the leaves of the book;

Figure 3- is a view similar to Figure 1 except that the book is open to'disclose the leaves where in' deposits; withdrawals, balance, etc'., ofthe particular account may be entered in the" usual-l6 course ofbanking. business; and

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional View through: the book, taken.substantially on line I V--=IV oi Figure 3a As shown. on the drawing:

The reference numeral it! generally indicates? a book, in thisinstance abank deposit hook or pass book, embodying-the features of the present.invention; This book is provided with the usual opposed; cover members"I I and lzrwhickr are hinged: at their innermost edges the usualmanner.

The book contains a plurality of leaves; the innermost leaves beingshorter than the height of the book covers as indicated at l3 and Theseleaves are disposed between leaves to and It which ro 'ct ahove theleaves I3 and l k'and Gaff? Wal -101728 i ndicia 835 the name or the areposit-er, the pass book-number, etc; leaves I3 and 14 may be ruled inthe usu' provide columns for ca -ates, withdraw balance the like as-usedthe ord'nar'y' de posit book in the course of banking operations.

arrangement enables the account to be ear ried from one set of shortleaves to another set 35 of short leaves as the leaves become filled bythethe entries of deposits, withdrawals; and the like; without thenecessity of to mow the general indicia as shown on pages l5 and [6 eachtime the entriesare continuedonto anew page.-

Between the leaves or pages 5 and I6 matte cover members of the book,the leaves area-gesare arranged and secured in a different r'iiagnrierthan at'present embodied iii the usual bank" de: posit book.

Attention is called to the fact" that these pages just referred to areconstructed of a single piece of material. Disposed outwardly of leaf I6is a leaf I! which extends over the cover member I2 50 and extends overcover member I I to form a leaf 3 similar to leaf l5 The midlines ofleaves I! and [8 are secured to the juncture of the cover members in theusual manner, as by stitching guaranteeing the depositor.

I The free edge of leaf i8 is carried back over the rear surface of leaf18 to define leaf I9,'and is formed intoa loop having its closed end 20disposed adjacent the secured inner edges of leaf V 6 18. The other endof this loop, which forms leaf 7 2|, is again turned back to form a leaf22 which lies against the cover member Hand iscarried over cover memberII to forma leaf,23.

mid line or juncture of leaves 22 and 23 is secured 10 by the stitching.|8a to the cover members. 1 p The outer edge of leaf'23 is turnedbackover the forward face thereof to form an inwardly extending leaf or flap24 having'its innerror free edge disposed adjacent the line ofsecurement of .15 the leaves to the cover member. 7 I

The loop formed by leaves '19 and 2| is secured at its open end as at 25and26 to the leaves: 18 r and 22 respectively by means ofperfora'tions21- ,and 28 whereby the leaves forming the loop may 20 be detached fromthe book, when desired. The

7 leaves 19 and 21 may have printed thereon a .facsimile 29 of aninsurance policy containing terms relating to theguarantee of thedepositor.

V {Ihse leaves may also'have indicated thereon asshown at 30 thepolijcynumberand other data j which may be necessary. 1
